Project Outreach teams held events for kids in the local community recently at Worton Park.

STEM Project Outreach team Delusion was made up of the following students: president Robb Donovan, Mike Foreman, Austin Long, Marshall Miller, Kyle Myers, Tyler Russo, Cole Schieke and Brodie Usilton. On March 19, Delusion held a flag football tournament at Worton Park. Despite some advertising and weather issues, it was a successful event. Team president Robb Donovan received Project of award for being considerate to team members and local charitable organizations, and for being an excellent leader throughout his outreach project. On March 26, STEM Project Outreach teams Average Joes and Udderly Delicious had simultaneous events at Worton Park.

The Average Joes team was made up of the following stu- dents from KCHS: president Emily Voshell, vice president Rebecca Machen, Ethan Havens, Emory Lieber, John Machen, Andrew Oatley and James Smith. Average Joes set up a family fun day at Worton Park, to raise awareness about troubling substance abuse statistics for Kent County adolescents. There was a moon bounce and a cotton candy machine. The Chestertown fire department provided an EMT; the Elks club and health department provided pamphlets of information and representatives to answer questions; and a testimonial was given by a speaker from Alcoholics Anonymous. Average goal was to raise awareness of alcohol and drug abuse, and to promote a clean and fun environment for kids.

Over 200 people attended the event, and 154 people signed a poster to agree to be drug free. Voshell received the Project Outreach award for her leadership of the family fun day. The Udderly Delicious team included president Peyton Chance, Lian Blatchford, Katie Graham, Cortney Amber Receski, Allison Santmyer and Lenny Sheppard. Udderly Delicious joined in on the fun day event by serving homemade ice cream. They set up a make-your- own ice cream bar using milk from local dairies.

Kids poured their own milk, sugar (or substitute) and flavoring into a small bag. Then, they added rock salt and ice to a larger bag, placed the small bag into the larger bag, and shook vigorously. Minutes later they had ice cream. The Udderly Delicious students were trying to raise awareness about safe, humane and ethical treatment of farm animals, specifically in the dairy industry. They shared about safe and effective local dairies, which use humane methods for milk production and processing.

KCHS and Project Outreach are grateful to the individuals and organizations who donated their time and money, and provided a variety of items, for the events. Project Outreach holds community events Student Honors, High Honors.
